ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to genetic mutations in mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase genes that segregate with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The invention provides methods for detecting such mutations, as a diagnostic for Alzheimer's Disease, either before or after the onset of clinical symptoms. The invention further provides treatment of cytochrome oxidase dysfunction.
